To avoid a significant student loan debt burden, more families are considering public schools simply because of the tuition discount.
With college costs soaring and student loan debt at a record high, more students and families are considering public schools simply because of the generally lower tuition.
Some public schools are far more affordable than others, particularly for those applying out of state. Personal finance site GOBankingRates ranked 100 public universities by out-of-state tuition costs, based on data from schools and U.S. News & World Report. In addition, not only are the schools near the top of the list relatively less expensive, but most also have a high acceptance rate, making them particularly attainable for college-bound seniors.Out-of-state tuition: $17,3242.
